Examine how heat can be transferred between systems by reconstructing a diagram on energy flow and solving problems on heat flow and work done.

Students explore how energy transforms into heat.  In this energy instructional activity students create models and find a need for fuel to make a Stirling engine. 

In this entropy worksheet, students calculate the change in entropy and rank absolute molar entropies. This worksheet has 12 problems to solve.

This activity uses the story of the three bears as a way to investigate conduction, convection, radiation, and insulation properties. It also could be used to describe the laws of thermodynamics and conservation of energy.

Provides a basic explanation of what energy is, how the laws of thermodynamics apply, and how energy differs from work.

Explains the concept of heat transfer and describes conduction, convection, and radiation which are the three modes of heat transfer. Includes formulas, examples, and applications.
